[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] iRiKi:
I have that problem too on my 2nd hand Magician, I've bought it that way because I'm using this a test device.

------------

Eu comprei o meu S100 já com esse problema, se for o mesmo problema do meu então deve ser a coluna interna do telefone avariada. Este telemovel tem duas colunas de som, uma normal por exemplo que é utilizada pelo Windows media player, e a outra que é utilizada pelo telefone. Tenta o seguinte, quando fizeres ou receberes uma chamada, coloca-a em alta-voz (pressiona longamente o botao verde para atenderes em alta-voz) e confirma se assim já consegues ouvir. Se conseguires, é a coluna interna do telefone que avariou. Há um tipo no Algarve que arranja isso, mas cobra ainda um pouco carote, e tens de enviar pelo correio. Eu não enviei porque o meu magician já tem montes de probs e eu uso isto para outras coisas que não telefonar ;) Um abraço

About the radio version, I recommend you continue to use 1.12.00, I have it instead of 1.13 because Cotulla ROM's only work on 1.12 and since I'm always changing between 6.1 and wm2003, I always leave it with 1.12
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MGuedes:
Thanks.. Since I hear all the other noises, it's probably the call-speaker that is malfunctioning.. Anyway, since the last time I came here, that speaker came back to life and now is dead again, so, I just carry a pair of headphones on my pocket, that I use whenever I want to call or answer people.. It's a bit annoying because the wires keep tangling up, but has its advantages..

If you flash Cotulla's ROMs, you can then return to WM2003?

And besides those ROMs, what more do you advise me to do?

I have at home one of those Samsung Vodafone 360 M1, which was offered to me by a magazine to which I collaborate. But that SO (LiMo) is buggy as hell, so, it's now in my desk, on my room, with no use.. And with 90% of my contacts, because I couldn't find a clever way to pass them to the qTek again..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MGuedes:
Speaker back to life! :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MGuedes:
Another doubt. My cell phone now periodically shuts down my calls, at 8 minutes.. What can I do? How can I solve this?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MGuedes:
My qTek is now doing Hard Resets every day, with no apparent reason. What do you think it's causing this? :confused:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] iRiKi:
Sorry about the late reply, but Android is now the king!:D anyways that also happens to me, it's because of a red switch located on the right side of the phone, when you remove the battery.my solution was to put a piece of paper so it doesn't hard reset.good luck!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MGuedes:
Oh.. Thanks anyway! :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] iRiKi:
There's a guy in Algarve that knows how to fix this old phones.. if you want I can give you his contact, just pm me.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] asim.sidz:
I had this same problem years ago. The device has two speakers. One at the back for the multimedia purposes and the other one at the top front for hearing calls. The front speaker got damaged and i had to get it replaced at a local shop. Then it worked like a charm!

And that ROM works.
[Nook Color General] gmap516:
Is it 30 days with a receipt?
[Nook Color General] ax0r:
14 days, however expect a hard time trying to exchange\return it.. i am on my 4th Nook (stay away from the 2010 serial number, horrible quality.. try to get a 2011).
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
i have a 2010 serial number, no problems for me.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
how can you tell your serial number date?
[Nook Color General] ax0r:
Interesting.

My first nook had a LCD that was rippled and creaking on the left. I returned this one an hour after purchase.

Second nook had a volume up button that would get stuck, light leak on the bottom left of the screen and the whole case popped and creaked. Felt like a cheap toy.

Third nook made a popping noise on the bottom any time would touch it. It was actually louder than pressing the n button sso imagine that. Also had 2 specs of dust under the digitizer.

These 3 started with 2010 on the serial number.

My 4th nook is a 2011 serial. It weighs more (compared to the 2010 I was exchanging at the store) and has absolutely no problems. No Creaking or cheap feel. Its almost like a newer revision where they fixed all the problems on the 2010 revision.

Maybe you got lucky or you were satisfied with the build quality but it was not up to my standards.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
I do have two MINOR areas on the back of mine that makes a slight popping noise (acutally you can't even hear it, but you can feel it) that I didn't notice until a month after I got it...I also have a SMALL light leak on the bottom middle that u can only see with a black screen...to me, not worth returning for.
[Nook Color General] ax0r:
I like getting my moneys worth so if I am in my 14 days why not. My 2011 serial nc is perfect... no flaws at all
[Nook Color General] victle:
Depends on where you buy it. BN has 14 days return, bestbuy is 30 days, ...

2010 SN here. My NC's been great. Great build quality. No pops, creaks or leaks.
[Xoom General] misdirection:
What's the pro for rooting? Just to obtain su access? I am not sure if it's worth my time rooting Xoom or not. I don't see any apps requiring root.

Mind you, I am an IT specialist (programming, database, web development, and such..). So I am just trying to see how this will benefits me; I know hardware access will be unlocked.

Just want more reason, the better.
[Xoom General] misdirection:
?

No response?
[Xoom General] Elementix:
Custom Roms (in the future),Overclocking, USB host mode, ability to remove crapware you don't want, etc. etc.

Also, post in the correct section next time. This should be under General...
[Xoom General] misdirection:
Ok

Sorry. I was able to root my Xoom just fine. Alias, my warranty now is completely voided or no?
[Xoom General] js042507:
Yes. 'Technically' you voided your warranty by rooting, but you can always just flash back to stock and re-lock the device. They would never really know. Im almost 100 percent sure about that. Also, rooting has plenty of benefits aside from super user access. Its not like the biggest deal in the world either. But like the previous poster had stated you'll have overclocking capabilities, ability to remove system apps; that is a big deal for me, usb hosting; which means you'll be able to use an external flash drive, because the sd card is inactive at the moment. Basically, you pretty much have complete freedom! Its your device! So why not have ALL of the control? :-)

Sent from the most 'Epic' phone in the world! ...Using XDA Premium app :-)
[Xoom General] chbennett:
In all honesty, if the device is doing everything you want it to and you have to ask for a reason to root, I don't see a point. But if you want to tether (sans a seperate data plan), run custom roms in the near future, overclock, and do other fun things of the sort, go for it. The risk level is pretty low for just rooting.
[Xoom General] starchildx:
if you don't know why you should root your xoom, maybe you shouldn't.

and i seriously don't believe you are an IT specialist.....
[Xoom General] StirCwazy:
This isn't a "Xoom Android Development" question. In the future please post things like this in the general section. The forums are turning into a cluster because some people don't understand where they should post.

•General - General questions ranging from hardware specs, rooting to whatever.

•Accessories - It's obvious, accessories for your device

•Android Development - Typically set aside for those involved in developing tweaks/hacks/whatever for Android

•Themes and Apps - Again, obvious.

If you're not sure where you need to post, put it in general. If it needs to be moved we've got great mods and they'll move it.

I'm not trying to be mean, I just want the one place I come for android info to stay clean so I don't have to filter through everything to get to what I want.

Hi,

I need help. Trying to put a shortcut of an excel file on home, there is no problem with it, but file doesnt open.

No problem with Astro!

Any advice?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] tech buddy:
you need ES Bookmark Manager to managing your shortcuts and a doc viewer
[Android Apps and Games] affliction_emrah:
Thanks for the reply.

Installed bookmark manager, otherwise i cant create a shortcut. The problem is,when i open the shortcut it gives me like "cant open file" message.

Edit: i have quickoffice also.
[Android Apps and Games] tech buddy:
Well can u do a fix permissions and I use documents to go and never had a problems

Also documents to go didnt work either.

Any advice:)

Well I don't no u could try reopening the doc on PC resave as .xls works for me
[Off-topic] bradleyG:
What are your opinions on a laptop/computer? It won't be long before I'm looking into getting one. I definitely want something pretty powerful that can handle things like extensive video editing and HD capability. I will be using it for school as well so probably a laptop. I think a MacBook pro would be nice but I'm really REALLY anti-apple. I think its a nice computer but I don't like the cliche thing. I always just see people walking around with iPhones and I know how much better my android device is and just laugh in my head at how ignorant these people are but how about a MacBook pro? Or any other suggestions? I don't know a whole lot about computers so anything is appreciated, thanks. :D
[Off-topic] husam666:
What you are looking for is Dell Alienware or Toshiba qosmio series :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] Skellyyy:
Both really good. Wouldn't the Alienware be more suitable for gaming on the go though? :p They'll both cost a bomb though. :D
[Off-topic] bradleyG:
Could I get a roundabout price? Lol
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Don't go for Alienware unless it is the 11" one. The others are REALLY huge and heavy. They are meant for desktop replacements instead. Settle on a budget first, because laptops are highly commoditized.
[Off-topic] Skellyyy:
Well it really depends on the specs that you're looking for but I'd say an excess of $1000+ easily.
[Off-topic] husam666:
I think he has more than that (he was thinking about buying a mac ;))
[Off-topic] bradleyG:
Haha well I don't have that much at the moment, but I really am just in a state of confusion. I'm really leaning to the MacBook and am looking to probably just make a partition for windows 7 ultimate in case, so that way I have the best of both worlds. I mean the hardware is really nice on the Mac and I hear apple customer service is great. I am torn between the dual core and the quad core though and I'd like to hear what you all think. The dual core is clicked at a higher speed but the quad core has a designated video/graphics card what should I go for?

[Thunderbolt General] madzozs:
Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. A few apps seem to get a bit screwy after using adfree. One of the main ones is Words with Friends. It loads up and goes to a full screen error.

Any way to set exceptions for certain apps, or should I just deal with the ads?
[Thunderbolt General] rusty2663:
I had to pick ad free or words with friends on my dinc ...sucks there is a big ad that tries to load there for some reason only when you have ad free...
[Thunderbolt General] luniz7:
Yes words with friends does not work with adfree...it sucks

Sent from my Thunderbolt!
[Thunderbolt General] fillyo:
There was a version in the Incredible forums that fixed this.
[Thunderbolt General] pinhead875:
The game and adfree worked fine on my Due. I have adfree on my TB, but not the game.
[Thunderbolt General] option94:
They need adds to create revenue, so they try to make it as difficullt to block them as possible. Also, this hould be in Q&A/General section.

Apps like that are considered warez at XDA, and will be removed and acted upon as such.
[Thunderbolt General] madzozs:
Sorry for the wrong section. Figured due to it requiring root and being caused by an app not working with another this would work.

Never had the issue with my DX so I was confused. Guess I'll get rid of adfree for now.
[Thunderbolt General] earhog:
Here is a fix

http://neallambert.com/?p=5

Worked great for me, but you will have ads in Words with Friends... Itll work tho
[Thunderbolt General] jackfrost7:
I don't see how this can be...

The original version is in the Android market, and lists an XDA forum thread as the authors homepage.

It had a bug with the way it worked with one app, and was fixed by someone locally, who didn't try to pretend it was theirs, or anything other than a fixed version.

How would it count as warez?
[Thunderbolt General] madzozs:
Worked for me as well. I don't mind the ads in Words free. I had them on my DX with AdFree running as well. Thanks again.
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
The problem with Ad Free (or any ad blocker) and Words With Friends is not unique to the Thunderbolt. Same issue on my Nexus S.

You can get past it by opening the app, and VERY VERY QUICKLY hitting an existing game to open it. You'll bypass the first ugly ad and be able to play the game. If you aren't fast enough the first time, hit the back button to exit, and then reload and try the game.

Works for me on both Thunderbolt and Nexus S.

edit: I don't usually mind ads, but it's apps like Words w/Friends that drive me to ad blockers. Ads that are intrusive, non-relevant, and obnoxious turn me off. Words violates all of those, even going so far as to start video ads without my okay. I understand devs and companies need to generate revenus, so I always buy a pro version of an app if it's available; I don't expect stuff for free, but I won't put up with intrusive ads either. Does Words have a paid model? I haven't seen it.
[Thunderbolt General] option94:
Apps that remove adds take away from devs revenue. If they had an app without adds, they would charge for it. If you posted that it would be warez since it would be taking away from dev revenue. Taking out the adds does the same thing, thus making it warez.
[Thunderbolt General] jackfrost7:
Lol. Yeah, thats not how it works, but thanks for your creative interpretation...

I hope you don't ever use any adblock software for firefox/chrome/ie...
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
I'm pretty sure they pay for putting the ads there not for every add that shows up... So that screws up you explanation

Warez is taking a "PAID" app and distributing it as free

So i try to flash USA version JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf and it works but when i try to come back to 2.51 after installing 2.51 bootloader i can see anything :(

NB: sorry if my english is bad
[Defy Android Development] unrafa:
Im no expert but i'm sure your phone will be alive again.

But i'm not know what do you intend to do?

there are a lot of roms undowngradable, and i dont think that you will be able to come back to the rom you had, you are probably flashing inferior version, so you will have to try to flash another bootloader and see if it boots, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966537

If that doesnt work, you will have to flash a full image SBF to boot the phone.
[Defy Android Development] xuidavy:
thanks man,

i figure out that the phone wanted my battery 100% but it is almost empty but i find a way to tell him that battery is 100% and i flash usa version:)
[Defy Android Development] racca:
glad to hear you solved your problem. just out of curiosity, where did you get "JORDN_U3_6.36.0" as an SBF file? it's nowhere to be found.

You can pull Launcher2.apk and W_Installer.apk from the update.zip. Not sure if you can install them like regular apks but you can copy them to /system/apps/

Even in my case as I research involves smartphones it's a bit of a hard sale for some people to understand how having a newer device helps make my research seem more applicable as it's not being built on a 1-5 year old device.
